When children aretnot,but are merely the shadow ofthings to come, while the yetlie helpless ia the parut.'arms, they must be cared for,and this must go on up to a certain point where governmentbegios. Just as soon as, thechild gets large enough, theteaching of the child tojtakecure of itself begins; he istaught how to walk, how lo usehis hands, and after j a littletime, lite child, leaning tomeof the primary physfoal truths,begins to learn moraV a social truths from another ipliildjust ahead of him, whilg another just behind him larn9of him, and the three have toget along together, and byjandby there are five or six, and allhave to livo together; atid bocomes the gradual development of chancer upon, thefooting of selt-restraint, learning to take cure ot sell by suffering lor self, and that is thetheory of punishment' ia thef stiiily.

It was so faint anddiilicult ol observation that nolime could be fixed lor its return In 1826 a comet wasfound by Von Biela, and oncomputing the orbit it provedto be identical with that of1772. Further investigationshowed that it was also observed in 1S05, but was notthen recognized as the sameIt was, therefore a periodicalcomet, and tho period of itsrevolution was found lo be sixyears eight months. It hasbeen known as Biela's comet,from its discoverer of 1826. Thenext two returns were not favorable for it observation, sothat it was not again srtisfactorily detected till 1845. Itwas seen in November and Dacember of that year by a number of observers, who noticednothing unusual; but in January it was found to have suffered an accident such as wasnever betore known to happento a heavenly body, of whichno explanation has ever beengiven. It was split in twe, andfor some months was observedas Iwo comets. In 1852 it appeared again, and now the twocomets were nearly two millionmiles apart. They disappearedfrom view about the end ofSeptember, and have neverbeen seen since, although theymust have returned in 1859,and again in 1866 nd 1872The return of 1866 was quite'favorable, but although themost powerful telescopessearched for it, all was in vain.The comet had vanished fromthe heavens.The earth had crossed the orbit of this coiiet about the endof November. I'rolessor Newton was thus led to infer that,though lost to sight, the fragments of the comet would bnseen about that time strikingthe atmosphere as shootingstars. This prediction was fullyverified by the event. On theevening of November 27, between the hours of six andeight, a remarkable shower ofmeteors was observed, the astronomers of the Naval Observatory countingseveral hundred.And further, the direction oftheir motion corresponded, asnearly as could be judged, tothat of the lost comet. In consequence, the Washington astronomers entertain no seriousdoubt that the meteoric showerwa3 really caused by theenrlh'dmeeting the debris ol—Harper's Magazinefor MarchThe Make-up of the Body.Supposing your age to be Gfteen or thereabouts, I can figure you to a dot.
